Aqaba
Miriam Mirani, creator of AQABA , has herself led a life bridging the ancient and the modern worlds.
Born to parents whose cultures embodied traditions of Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean, Mirani spent her formative years in the cultural capitals of Salzburg, the Middle East and America. After music studies in conservatories both in the States and in Europe, at twenty, her quest for knowledge of the outside world grew paramount and Mirani embarked on what would become a several year odyssey.
Armed with the fruits of rigorous study of age-old Semitic civilizations, their languages and history, Mirani traveled south through Sinai’s desert oasis, traveled with the Bedouins and fell in love with the colors and magic of the Nile Delta . At the tip of the Red Sea, clear to the eye, lay the cornerstones of the ancient world...the jewel of AQABA tucked neatly in its center. |
